I grew up in Styria, a beautiful Austrian state, have lived in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela for a year where I discovered my passion for scuba diving and started learning Spanish from scratch.

After this year abroad I started studying industrial engineering in Austria and Spain. During the summers I worked as an intern in Mexico and China.

My desire to scuba dive got only stronger when I took my PADI divemaster training in sunny Mexico.

While I worked as a scientific assistant at my university, I founded my own business in 2015. I work with several clients and support them with my knowledge in the fields of Social Media Marketing, Content Creation, Influencer Marketing and Blogger Relations.

I currently live in Linz with my fiancé, study Sales and Marketing in Steyr and Bogotá.

A big dream of mine is to travel to Antarctica to see the masses of ice and snow – and of course observe the penguins there.

Another goal – which I’m trying to accomplish by 30 – is to visit all European countries.
